We will be able to utilize significant synergies between the two countries when it comes to special knowledge, sales and marketing, says Christian Junker and continues:

- We are already strongly represented in Estonia through our agribusiness activities and we have significant activities within rape seed crushing. By strengthening our machinery activities we now become and even more attractive partner to the Estonian farmers, he says.

Following the new agreement with John Deere it is the plan to increase the number of machinery branches in Estonia.
